Players who want to stock up on Mega Energy to dominatePokemon GObattles only have a handful of options.Mega Energy can be earnedas Task rewards or as part of special events on occasion, but for the most part Mega Raids are the fastest and most efficient way to earn the limited resource. That means getting a solid roster together and heading out with a few friends for some challenging PvE battles.
When Pokemon GO players head into these Mega Raids, they need to be careful to prepare for each of the unique bosses so that they don’t end up wastingRevives, Potions, and Raid Passes. The best way to avoid those mistakes is by studying ahead and time and carefully optimizing an ideal counter roster. When it comes to squaring off against a powerful Grass- and Dragon-type like Mega Sceptile, trainers are going to be able to lean heavily on a Double Weakness to help take the boss done without issue.

Players will want to put together a roster full of their best Ice-type move sets in order to really take advantage of the 2x weakness. Trainers should plan to assemble a solid counter roster and then head into the fight with three or four other players to take down the boss. It would be wise to use someTMs or Elite TMsto get the ideal move sets in place for this fight. It also wouldn’t hurt to burn through some Candy at this point to power these Pokemon up to a higher CP.
Mega Sceptile Weaknesses
As a Grass- and Dragon-type Pokemon,Mega Sceptile is 2x weak to Ice-types moves and weak to Dragon, Flying, Poison, Fairy, Bug, and Steel moves.
Mega Sceptile is resistant to Electric-, Grass-, Water-, and Ground-types.
Meloetta (Pirouette) - Quick Attack/Ice Punch
Articuno - Frost Breath/Ice Beam
As always, keep in mind that this list of counters represents the strongest possible options, but there are plenty of other Pokemon who could still get the job done. Trainers should search their Pokemon collection byusing the keyword “Ice"and go with a roster that seems the strongest based on those options. Trainers should also remember that they won’t actually earn an encounter reward with a Mega Pokemon after completing this Battle Raid. Instead, they will earn an encounter with regular Sceptile and a handful of Mega Energy to use for a temporary Mega Evolution in the future.
